This bug is tagged needs-packaging which identifies it as a request for a new package in Ubuntu. As a part of the managing needs-packaging bug reports specification, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Specs/NeedsPackagingBugs, all needs-packaging bug reports have Wishlist importance. Subsequently, I'm setting this bug's status to Wishlist.

okay i finally got some time to review your packaging, but i i have a few considerations about it:
- let's stick to plain debhelper 7 and source format 3.0
- also stick to the rest of the best-practice from http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org
- modifications to the source should be made as patch (-> build.xml)
- we shouldn't ship libs that are already packaged or aren't directly from upstream and deserve a own package
- additional binary files should be in the debian dir and get an include the "source format 3.0" way

- let's stick to plain debhelper 7 and source format 3.0
+ i don't see why?
- also stick to the rest of the best-practice from http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org
+ yes i know that, i took nearly all my java packaging knowledge from there ;)
- modifications to the source should be made as patch (-> build.xml)
+ fixed, learned how to patch with quilt
- we shouldn't ship libs that are already packaged or aren't directly from upstream and deserve a own package
+ build librome in my ppa, too. so i could remove it from the package now
- additional binary files should be in the debian dir and get an include the "source format 3.0" way
+ fixed

I just downloaded your nice app yesterday and it is a real "must have" besides ubuntu-tweak.

I also downloaded several contents with this app yesterday. But today after starting up my machine, I found that in all browsers I cannot play any video-content anymore. Everytime I get the message "Content not found or access denied". My used browsers are the currrent version of firefox and seamonky 2.0.11. I do not hope, that this is caused by this app. Or is this app not legal??

hi dears,
suddenly the problem dissappeared and videos work again. It seems, that the channels themselves had problems with their pages. But now it works again. Thank you!!

This app is really "the hammer" and it is an app, that I had waited for a quite long time!!!

One question: could you produce such an app also for the private channels like Kabel1, Sat1, RTL, RTL2, Pro7, Vox and all the others? This would be so genious of you. Because these private channels often have so cool films in their program that I wanted to download. I often tried that also across the Internet. But it didn't really work out. Everytime when I tried to download one of these videos from these private channels, the videos only loaded partly and then suddenly interrupted and stopped. This is nerving. So please please please make an app also for these channels!!!! Thank you guys in advance for your so cool work!!!!

@Linuxexperte: Thomas and i are just making sure this "app" has a good integration within Debian and Ubuntu. This bug report is meant for building a package of Mediathekview. We're not developing it. So you should give the real author your thanks and feature wishes at http://zdfmediathk.sourceforge.net/

BTW and don't think it's realistic that private broadcasting stations will give their content away like the public ones do. When you can't watch it on their websites, you can't make an "app" for streaming/downloading the stuff directly.

this nice app needs packaging for natty!! LinuxMint 11 RC and Ubuntu 11.04 are already out!!! Please make this package available for natty too. This app has evolved into a "must-have" besides ubuntu-tweak in the meantime not only for me but also for many other users too.

the package is finally in unstable and therefore already synced for oneiric. i am willing to do an upgrade based on this great achievement, but i don't find a hint what git commit equals the 2.5.0 release, as there is no source included in the releases since 2.3.0. can somehow help out or do we need to get in contact with upstream?

thanks for upgrading this super-good package. The source is included in the debian-package and MediathekView 2.5.0 runs so somooth and fine for me on Windows, so that I was missing it in my Linux-Distro. So you see, I was already able to test it.

Thanks for this great achievement and keep it onwards in development for the future distros please!!! Please, please, please!!!! It is a real "must-have" for me and many other users of Ubuntu and its Derivates too....

a new version 2.6 is out for mediathekview on the link mentioned in the very first posting. I had sent you the link also via email and it is time to update your ppa-repository!! We users are badly waiting for it!! I love this little app, because it already made so many things possible for me, which I never imagined and which also the producers of these TV-stations never imagine... :)

So please update your nice pppa-repository to version 2.6 for natty and oneiric because I already upgraded to oneiric and I don't want to miss your app.
